[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This. Currently I am looking at a flight to Syracuse with one stop and then driving for 2 hours. How would a undergrad navigate this for 4 years for breaks? How do parents who live beyond driving distance visit if needed? Are there any 'secret' shuttles from a major hub airport?[/quote]

My kid drives back to DMV so I'm not on top of this but I believe OurBus runs limited bus shuttles to SYR airport specifically for the breaks. I remember that recently, there appears to be an OurBus scheduler/employee that solicits and posts on the parents FB when it is close to the breaks to see what the demand is.

Besides ITH airport, there is Elmira/Corning and Binghampton to look into. I don't think there are bus shuttles there so chartered taxi, Uber (limited in Ithaca currently) are your ways to get there.

Many other kids, especially internationals, take the multiple bus options from campus to the NYC area to access the 3 airports there. There is usually a nonstop bus to the DC area (Bethesda/Montgomery Mall) where your kid can then hop on a flight from one of the 3 airports in the DC area.[/quote]

The student would have a long uber to get from the mall to any of the DC airports (after the 5 hour bus ride).  This would not be an efficient option.[/quote]
